yes, I use mine WITHOUT the data plan. However for many photos u may need to add a micro sd chip of 8 or 16 gigs.

yes !.............but to be honest with you. I had nothing but problems with this phone and At&t; kept giving me the runaround and so I just purchased a cheaper phone on my own. At&t; would not replace the phone. The phone sucked !!!!

Yes, since this is not an android phone, you can just call your service provider and tell them you don't want to use data plans. That's what I did with mine.

Yes, I no longer have this phone but it was great for voice and text while still providing some touch screen functionality without being a "smart phone" that would require a data plan.

Yes but does not require payments for a data plan. I just use talk and text.

It's not a prepaid phone, I used it when I had my two year contract with Verizon. However, I am not sure if it can be used without a data plan.

I just got off the phone with Verizon. And they indicated that because this phone is not considered a smartphone, the data plan is not required.

No you don"t. I have one and it does not require a data plan, if they start to charge you for one, you can cancel it and still be able to use the phone, but it is difficult to receive picture messages on.

You should be able to use it as a regular line without a data plan, but just an fyi...we did not have much luck with this phone. If you are getting it for a kid it might be ok but in my experience it was very low quality..if you are looking for a good quality, durable phone I would look into something else

A data plan is not needed, phone works great with just text and voice plan.

I do have a plan that has data but I don't use it because it eats up my minutes so I turned off the data on the phone. I don't know if you need a plan with data.

No, it does not require a data plan. It's an unlocked at&t phone, but I was able to get the tmobile month to month plan.

It will function as just a phone so no you shouldn't have to have a data plan. Having used the phone now for a few months, I couldn't recommend it. Reception is very poor.

idk about medianet, but, you do not need a data plan to use all of the functions of this phone. For example, i bought this phone, downloaded google voice and voice plus to it, then downloaded gmail, and with a wifi connection, i can access all of the functions of this phone, including the ability to browse the internet and make calls for free. I have the 25 dollar plan, but have yet to use a single minute on that plan!

no just pop in your sim and use What ever plan that's available . I used prepaid and I didn't need the data but it's ok to have . It's more of a feature phone like

No. You will have to purchase a Sim card and data plan from your cell phone provider. This will be in addition to your cell phone plan even if you have unlimited data.

My husband currently uses this phone with a Verizon plan. He only uses it for phone calls; I do not know about text messages or data plan capabilities.

No. This phone doesn't have any data capability so wifi isn't really needed.
